& Who Am I?

I'm Renée. Writer, Style Editor, sister, daughter, mover, et dare I say, shaker as well.

I grew up in Toronto, did some more growing in Vancouver, a little more in Kelowna, came back to Toronto, et somehow ended up in Montréal. Every city handed me a different way of seeing—how people dress, how they live, et what they're actually saying while doing both. I've been taking notes ever since.

Professionally, I've spent the better part of a decade building voices for other people's brands— campaigns, editorial, tone of voice systems, associate creative director teas. But Off-the-Cuff is where I explore my world url et irl.

This column is essays, observations, et cultural commentary on the things that may seem not that deep, but usually are. Clothes, film, pop culture, personal history—nothing is ever just anything, et I've always had a lot to say about that.

Come for musings on fashion, stay for thoughts on life. Written, as always, off-the-cuff.

Oh, et I use the French ‘and.’ It’s kinda a funny story. Maybe I’ll tell it one day.
